Active clinical trials for "Thrombotic Stroke"

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.

Demonstrating the pathophysiological link between Left Atrial (LA) and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) pathology and embolic strokes in non-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) individuals represents a major advance in stroke prevention strategies. Instead of relying on non-specific criteria for stroke risk assessment, the investigators propose to identify individuals with high-risk of embolic stroke using imaging criteria that reflect the underlying pathophysiology of embolic stroke of cardiac origin. the investigators can therefore lay the groundwork for future anticoagulation strategies for stroke prevention beyond AF.

Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability in Mexico and worldwide. Although current treatment strategies focus on removing oclussion, they do not interrupt the signaling cascade of neuronal damage. Thus, the search for a cerebroprotective agent that can protect the entire brain. Melatonin has been proposed as a potential cerebroprotective agent due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and immunomodulatory effects, which oppose the pathophysiological mechanisms of cerebrovascular disease. Melatonin has the potential to improve stroke outcomes and reduce the risk of disability and mortality, making it a promising therapeutic option for stroke patients. To assess the efficacy of melatonin in patients with acute ischemic CVD, improve clinical outcome, and infarct volume.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response study of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.

The proposed study will investigate the clinical use of the ISCDX test that may differentiate between diverse stroke etiologies as listed below: Aim 1: Differentiate between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic ischemic strokes, when hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out, as defined by TOAST classification of subtypes of acute ischemic stroke. Aim 2: In cases of ischemic strokes of unknown or "cryptogenic" etiology, determine the ability of biomarker blood tests to predict etiology between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic.

In stroke patients, mechanical thrombectomy is now the standard of care when the stroke is due to large proximal cerebral vessel occlusion. The purpose of the 2BE3 trial is to test whether adjunct rescue treatment of persisting distal occlusions after successful proximal recanalization of the large vessel occlusion can be proposed as an additional intervention to restore reperfusion of affected stroke tissue and improve clinical outcomes. The rescue therapies will be either mechanical (small stent retrievers and/or small aspiration catheters) or pharmacological (infusion of intra-arterial thrombolytics). Patients will be randomized to conservative management (mechanical thrombectomy with or without IV thrombolytics of large proximal vessels) or rescue therapy (mechanical or pharmacological interventions in distal vessels in addition to conservative management). Each patient will be followed for 3 months post-intervention. The data collected will be clinical assessments and angiographic imaging to evaluate the reperfusion state.

The objective of the MEDIS study is to determine if subjects experiencing an Acute Ischaemic Stroke due to large vessel occlusion, treated with IV tPA combined with the MED procedure have a greater likelihood of recanalisation 30-90 minutes after the completion of tPA infusion than subjects treated with IV tPA (plus sham device). Safety of the MED System Procedure will be evaluated by the incidence of symptomatic PH-2 haemorrhagic transformation within 24 hours following the procedure. Lastly, a health economics study will be conducted to estimate health care costs for each treatment.

Study the prevalence of strokes in the emergency department (ED) and their possible eligibility for thrombolysis.

Autonomic modulation by transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation in acute ischaemic stroke requiring mechanical thrombectomy: a phase IIa, sham controlled randomised trial.

Approximately 50% of patients have persistent motor disability following stroke. Current treatment approaches with conventional physiotherapy have limited efficacy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and Functional electrical stimulation (FES) have been shown to improve the neuronal plasticity and motor control in few preliminary studies. Their efficacy in human stroke subjects is unproven. We planned to study their efficacy in improving the motor functions of stroke patients in a randomized trial. Sixty consecutive haemodynamically stable adult patients with first ischemic stroke within last 7-30 days were randomized into three treatment groups to receive either physiotherapy alone, or physiotherapy combined with either FES or rTMS. Outcome was assessed using Fugl Meyer assessment for physical performance of upper limb. Three groups were compared for the outcome measures using intention to treat analysis.
